SBMA snags twin nominations in Stevie Awards

OLONGAPO CITY — The Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority is a finalist in this year’s Stevie Awards, an international program that recognizes the outstanding accomplishments and contributions of companies and business people worldwide.

The nomination for “Organization of the Year” was announced on Wednesday by SBMA chair and administrator Wilma Eisma, who was also nominated as “Female Executive of the Year in a government or non-profit organization.”

Eisma said the nominations honors the efforts of SBMA employees in making the Subic Freeport a premier investment center.

“The SBMA has grown to be a better organization due to the culture of ‘malasakit (compassion)’ in the agency, which this administration has actively promoted,” Eisma said in a statement.

The Stevie Awards are handed out annually by the American Business Awards organization. The winners for the gold, silver, and bronze Stevies will be announced in the 15th annual awards dinner which takes place in New York City in November. /ee
